Six-Month Limit Set for
Hammarskjold 's Proposals
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
JERUSALEM — An Egyp-
tian-Israel agreement to ar-
rangements designed to keep
the cease-fire along the Gaza
border was announced here
Tuesday by the United Nations
Truce Supervision Organization
headquarters. Meanwhile UN
Secretary General Hammar-
skjold, who together with Maj.
Gen. E. L. M._Burns, UN Truce
Chief, obtained the agreement,
met twice Tuesday with Israel
Premier Ben-Gurion.
The UN announcement said
that both parties have agreed
to accept a number of fixed
UN observation posts on each
side of the Gaza demarcation
line. These posts will be sup-
plemented by Mobile UN pa-
trols when necessary, "the com-
munique said, and "steps have
been taken for recruitment of
an additional number of ob-
. servers _made necessary by this
agreement."
It is understOod that Israel
. has agreed to this arrange-
ment only for a six-month
period ending Oct. 31, 1956.
The agreement provides for
the location of UN posts; for
the fact that there shall be
an equal number of them on

Wins Book Award
for 'Beth El Story'
The Wayne University Press
was on Tuesday night presented
with an award as the publisher
of one of the "50 best books of
1955."
The award-winning volume
was "The Beth El Story," writ-
ten by Irving I. Katz, executive
secretary of Temple Beth El and
historian of the Michigan Jewish
community.
Dr. Harold A. Basilius, direc-
tor of the Wayne U. Press, was
in Chicago to accept. the award,
given by the Chicago Book Clin-
ic at its Seventh Annual Ex-
hibits.
Speaking for Wayne Univer-
sity Press, Frank L. Schick said
that the award was the first
ever won by the Press in its
15-year history.
He said that a number of pri-
vate • contributors and a larger
allotment from Wayne Univer-
sity for the Press made it pos-
sible to enlarge its staff and
have the finances to produce
finer publications.

and editors, picks the best books

pertness of its physical appear-
ance — beauty, illustrations,
binding and printing.
each side of the frontier and
for the fact that UN officers
shall travel to posts along
designated routes after noti-
fication to the side on which
the post is located. If the
party in whose territory the
post is located desires it, it
may send an officer of its
own to accompany the ob-
server.
Reluctance a n d skepticism
with which Israeli circles have
greeted Hammarskjold's "pal-
liative" efforts were underlined
Tuesday by a new clash near
the settlement of Neve or,
south of Lake Tiberias, where
Jordanian infiltrators were re-
pulsed. In addition, an Egyp-
tian chartered plane was inter-
cepted over the Negev on a
photo reconnaissance mission,
and a victim of last . Sunday's
Egyptian attacks was buried.
The victim was a settler at
Nachal Oz who was wounded,
kidnapped, mutilated and then
slain by Egyptian infiltrators
guarded by Egyptian troops.
Hammarskjold spent three
hours at a morning session
with Ben-Gurion, which, ac-
cording to Israel sources, was
highlighted by sharp bargain-
ing and little progress. Only a
portion of the questions in-
volved were covered in this
period and the remainder was
left for a later session.
On Monday, Hammarskjold
spent three hours with For-
eign Minister Sharett dis-
cussing problems raised dur-
ing_ his earlier visit here and
reporting on his discussions
at Cairo, Damascus, Beirut
and Amman. The UN Secre-
retary General is understood
to have brought with him
Lebanon's, Syria's and Jor-
dan's consent to a cease fire.
Hammarskjold is alleged to
have stated that resumption
of work by Israel on the Jor-
dan River project would not
constitute a breach of the
armistice pact. Israel, for its
part, is understood to have
insisted on its right to re-
sume work on the develop-
ment project at any time.
Also, Israel is said to have
insisted that observance of
armistice agreements means
observance of the entire pact,
in each case, including re-
opening of the Suez Canal
as far as the Egyptian pact
is concerned.
(Difficulties that arose in
Hammarskjold's path over
the Jordan River develop-
ment - appeared to be ironed
out, as we went to press, as
a result of concessions by
Ben-Gurion for a limited de-
lay in the project's develop-
ment. But tension continues
over the issue.)
An ISraeli fighter Tuesday
intercepted an Egyptian char-
tered KLM plane on a photo
reconnaissance mission over the
Negev and forced it to land
at Lydda Airport. The Dakota
plane was intercepted over
Maktesh Rimon. A crew of

four Netherlanders and one
member of an Egyptian air
force was captured. The plane
was equipped with photo-
graphic equipment and Israelis
found exposed film.
More than 5000 Jerusalem
residents, lect by Mayor Ger-
shon Agron, spent the May 1.
holiday building fortifications
around border settlements in
the Jerusalem Corridor. Presi-
dent Itzhak Ben-Zvi toured
Corridor settlements, inspect-
ing defense works.
